I was isekai'd into a world that didn't need me. No prophecy. No blessing. No second chances wrapped in light. Just poverty, hunger, and a palace that crushed people quietly. I became a nameless palace chef. Someone meant to work, not to matter. I survived by staying invisible. Until the day the Emperor tasted my food. From that moment on, the palace began to watch. Concubines smiled with knives behind their teeth. Servants whispered. And safety stopped being simple. The Emperor's interest is not gentle. Affection in this palace is a sentence, not a gift. I can run and disappear like so many before me. Or I can stay, endure the jealousy, the danger, the slow unraveling-and see if I can survive being wanted by a man who owns everything.
